Identification of stocks and quantification of their relative contribution to recruitment are
major objectives toward improving the management and conservation of marine exploited …

Exploited marine resources can be managed more effectively when accurate information on
geographic population structure is available. Genetic markers offer a powerful tool for …

Understanding the genetic differentiation among populations of most marine fish requires
investigating the differences among spawning grounds. However, this can be challenging as …

Assessment of population structure is critical to the design and implementation of sound
management and conservation strategies. However, population structure must be assessed …

Domestically reared introduced (or escaped) individuals can have detrimental genetic
effects on the indigenous populations into which they are released. Consequently …

Greenland halibut (Reinhardtius hippoglossoides) supports one of the major groundfish
fisheries of the Northwest Atlantic and its biological stock structure is an important …

The spatial structuring of intraspecific genetic diversity is the result of random genetic drift,
natural selection, migration, mutation, and their interaction with historical processes. The …

Hierarchical sampling and subsequent microsatellite genotyping of> 2300 H aliotis laevigata
(greenlip abalone) from 19 locations distributed across five biogeographic regions have …

Overfishing drives population decline, which in turn drives loss of genetic diversity. Many
studies provide evidence of declines in genetic diversity; however, controversy exists within …

Identifying fish stock structure is fundamental to pinpoint stocks that might contribute
colonizers to overfished stocks. However, a stock's potential to contribute to rebuilding …
